There has been about a two month hiatus in my oil painting practice – something I did not really enjoy and will not repeat if I can help it. Nevertheless, I felt right at home in front of my easel today, minus some awkward moments getting used to painting like this again (paint on face, dropping brushes, spilling oil mediums etc.)

Here is a painting from a new series involving adventuring and strange places, and always, as much nature as possible.
